fastest-growing business in the country right now and it has the potential to make millions if not billions for businesses. we're going to check it out. do you want to get involved in this business? maybe so. sanjay gupta now. we'll see you back live at the top of the hour. welcome to "sg md." we got a busy, important show today. the food and drug administration is making a major recommendation. get rid of trans fats. it's the ultimate junk food. this could happen. how soon? we're going to tell you. also, you might be in for a shock when you see the potential replacement. also i'm wearing a magnetic shirt. take a look at this. there's an amazing story behind this shirt. let's get started. first off today, i want you to meet a young woman. her name is liz and he's been struggling with heroin addiction. i recently came across this remarkable video that shows her overdosing even close to death and then being revived with a drug called nolaxon, advocates

say if more people including nonprofessionals had their hand on this drug it could help stop this overdose epidemic. this is controversial stuff for sure, but watch just how powerful this medicine can be. what you're looking at is pretty shocking. a heroin addict overdosing. her name is liz. she's been using drugs since she was 11. today she's 29. adam wigsworth and louise vincent were both with her that night in august. they both volunteer with a program in greensboro, north carolina, that provides clean needles and other assistance to addicts. >> she seemed to be pretty unresponsive, and we were noticing a blueing of the lips, lack of oxygen. her breathing became quite shallow. >> well, once someone's not breathing and they're not responding to any sort of stimulus, you give them breaths and at that time i usually administer noloxone.

>> watch what happens next. >> we gave her 60 units of narcan. >> narcan can reverse an overdose from heroin and other drugs like oxycodone. >> liz? >> another sternal rub. another shot of narcan. >> all right, let's give her some more narcan. >> giving her the rest of this whole cc. >> and finally liz begins to come to. >> liz? you okay? you went out. you overdosed. can you sit up? >> yeah. >> all right, come on. you want a glass of water? >> it is just a remarkable video to watch and you might wonder as you watch that video of liz, is

it real? well, we showed it to four separate emergency room doctors who all said, yes, this is what a recovery with narcan looks like. we should also point out that the right answer always in situations like this is to call 911. liz joins us now. it's good to see you. >> good to see you, too. >> good to see you well. >> thank you. >> are you feeling okay? >> i'm feeling great. >> what is it like to watch that? >> it's very difficult to watch. >> did you know ahead of time that they were going to be recording -- >> no. >> -- or did they only talk to you about it afterwards? >> they talked to me about it after. >> when you look back on it, how close were you to not being able to get through this? >> pretty close. >> had you overdosed before? >> no. >> that was the first time. the point that they were trying to make and what they're talking about is this medication known aznar can which can do what it did for you, bring people out of an overdose like that. what do you think of making a medication like this more available? >> i think that it should be,

but i think it is kind of a fine line between having that false sense of security and making it widely available to absolutely everyone. >> how hard an addiction is this to beat? >> it's really hard. >> you just were in rehab -- >> yeah. >> -- is that right? >> uh-huh. >> what went on there? >> it was pretty difficult the first week was still not feeling too good physically, but it wasn't my first time getting clean either. it was actually my third. so, i've been through it before, and i knew that if i could just stick it out, that it would get better and eventually i would feel the way that i feel now. >> i think it's such an important point because we do have these preconceived notions of what to expect and then we get to meet someone like you. and, again, i'm glad you're well. you look well. >> thank you. >> i hope you stay well. >> thank you. >> stay really strong, okay? >> all right. coming up, the fda is going

to move to ban trans fats and this is a substance in just about every food out there, pizza, popcorn, cookies. the question is what are we going to eat? well, our resident foodie will stop by and make a case for pure fat, real butter, real lard. i may disagree with her a little bit on this. stay tuned. the right medicare d plan. no one could have left this much money here. whoo-hoo-hoo! yet many seniors who compare medicare d plans realize they can save hundreds of dollars. cvs/pharmacy wants to help you save on medicare expenses. talk to your cvs pharmacist, call, or go to cvs.com/compare to get your free, personalized plan comparison today. call, go online, or visit your local store today. call, go online, or visit your local store today. it really made the difference between a morning around the house and getting a little exercise. unlike the bargain brand, depend gives you new fit-flex®, our best protection. it's a smooth and comfortable fit with more lycra strands. get your free sample at depend.com.

and our giant idaho potato truck is still missing. so my dog and i we're going to go find it. it's out there somewhere spreading the good word about idaho potatoes and raising money for meals on wheels. but we'd really like our truck back, so if you see it, let us know, would you? thanks. what?

you know, the fda went on the attack this week against artery-clogging trans fats. saying that they're not just unhealthy, but that they're unsafe at any level and they are now ordering the food industry to phase them out. it's an ingredient in a lot of our favorite foods. microwave popcorn, cookies, cakes, frozen pizza, and much more. trans fats. they increase shelf life and they add flavor to processed foods. but the fda is now saying they are not safe and wants to ban them. it's a move they say would save

thousands of lives. >> we think it's time to address and really phase out the remaining uses of trans fat in the diet so that we can reduce the incidence of heart disease and debts resulting from heart attack. >> you see trans fats lower good cholesterol and they raise bad cholesterol. what we're trying to avoid is this, ldl or bad cholesterol building up as plaque in the blood vessel walls. because that plaque buildup is what can cause heart attacks. the cdc says ditching trans fats would prevent up to 20,000 heart attacks a year and as many as 7,000 more deaths from heart disease. new york city banned trans fats from restaurants in 2007 and many companies and popular chains around the country have already phased them out. the grocery manufacturers association says that it looks forward to working with the fda to better understand their concerns and how the industry can better serve consumers.

now, none of this is a done deal yet. there's a 60-day public comment period. the fda's going to consider concerns, suggestions that anybody including the manufacturers might have. but, again, this is a pretty big deal. i want to talk more about this with cnn managing editor cat kinsman, welcome back to the program. >> thanks, sanjay. >> what are we talking about with trans fats? which foods are the worst offenders here? >> well, a lot of them are sort of your treat foods, microwave popcorn, frozen pizzas, frosting in a can, coffee creamers, they're little things that probably don't make up the bulk of your diet but they might make up the treat portion of your deet diet except for margarine which is a fairly significant part of often a household's cooking. >> how do you see our landscape of food sort of changing, then, when these type of foods go away? do they go away? >> well, you know, there's still going to be a certain amount of allowable trans fats and there are also naturally occurring

trans fats that happen in an animal's body, but as for the artificial stuff, funny thing is, new york city banned trans fats in restaurants and in bakeries back in 2007. now new yorkers we're a pretty cantankerous bunch, we yell a lot about things that displease us, and the funny thing is the follow-up studies found that new yorkers didn't actually notice the difference all that much, which is -- but there was a significant health benefit that they found that people were eating a fair amount less trans fat but not necessarily noticing the taste difference. so, it's incumbent upon the manufacturers to be able to do that pretty seamlessly and put in some more beneficial fats or at least less detrimental fats into these products that we're very, very used to in our diet. >> that's a good point about new york city because a lot of people may raise the point that it will be a big change but it

might not be. you are making the case for pure fats. we know it can taste great, pure fats, but you say it may not be such a bad idea. there may be some benefits to it. >> this is true. and it wasn't necessarily to get rid of some of these pure fats, those were -- in a lot of ways unfairly demonized, studies have found out that they're not as detrimental to your health as originally thought. the reason that so many of these trans fats came into being is because they're cheaper. they're cheaper for manufacturers. they're cheaper for consumers and people got used to the taste of them. i advocate for butter, for nonhydrogenated lard, for olive oil which sort of doesn't have the bad things of trans fats, but it also has heart healthy benefits as well. people once they get used to, again, to the taste of these, they're going to be really in for a surprise. it takes much less of these -- >> right. >> -- you know, to make things

taste great, to have fantastic texture, and the problem is, though, i so distinctly remember moving to new york city when i was 23 years old on a student budget having absolutely no money, and thinking, okay, maybe i'll try to eat better and i went to the grocery store and looked at butter. and it was something, like, $5 pof $5.69 a pound as opposed to the 30 cents for the margarine i was used to buying. something will have to happen in the marketplace in order for it to come into being. but we can't stop yelling about it. >> thank you for joining us. really appreciate it. >> thank you so much. also this week pro football hall of famer tony dorsett opened up about his symptoms of cte, we talk about it a lot, it's a type of brain disease often found in athletes who suffer chronic blows to the head. >> memory loss more so than anything has been my big deal. sometimes you can have, you know, sensitivity to light and

things like that. but my thing was, you know, not remembering, you know, i've been taking my daughters to practice for years and all of a sudden i forget how to get there. >> dorsett has been part of this ucla study looking at the brain of former nfl players. let me show you something here. this is a normal brain over here. and this is the brain of players who were in this study who had at least one concussion. look over here, you see this bluish hue in the normal brain, you see that in the other brains as well, but pay more attention to the areas of bright yell and also bright red over here. that's what researchers are concerned about. they believe that that could be tao the proteins typically seen in people with alzheimer's disease. it's not just the presence that's important, it's also very important where it shows up in the brain but in the worst cases of cte players have suffered these memory problems. they've suffered rage and depression just like tony dorsett described. for now the ucla test is not

conclusive. and cte is still typically diagnosed after death in an autopsy. but if it pans out with these larger studies, these could mean knowing more about how cte progresses and more importantly, how to potentially treat it one day. we've got news for the families of anyone suffering from bipolar disease or any other sort of mental illness. unlike the bargain brand, depend gives you new fit-flex®, our best protection. it's a smooth and comfortable fit with more lycra strands. hi sweetie! get your free sample at depend.com. is what makes us different. we take the time to get to know you and your unique health needs. then we help create a personalized healthcare experience that works for you. and you. and you. with 50 years of know-how, and a dedicated network of doctors, health coaches, and wellness experts, we're a partner you can rely on --

you know, in any given year more than one in four american adults will suffer from a clinical mental disorder. barely a third of them will get treatment. part of it is that the services

simply aren't available and also insurance coverage or the lack of it is a big reason as well, but that's about to change. dr. jeffrey lieberman is president of the american psychiatric association. thanks for joining the program. >> my pleasure. >> you know, we've been talking about mental health parity for some time. the act was passed back in 2008. and basically it says insurance companies have to cover mental illness the same as any other illness, a physical illness. but the rules to make it effective weren't really put into place until just this week. i wonder if you can tell us what's going to be different now? >> i think this is really a historic milestone for health care in this country and particularly for health care providers who treat people with mental disorders which is as you were saying a very substantial number of people. and the reason it's so important is that even though we provide health care through private and public insurance to people for reasons that have to do with historical misunderstandings, stigma, lack of knowledge, people have not gotten coverage

through their insurance benefits for seeking what would be evidence-based, scientifically proven treatment for mental illnesses. and in 2008 that was rectified symbolically with the passage of the mental health parity addiction equity act but there was no specifications as to how the rule should be applied and enforced. and today we're seeing that final rule finally issued. >> and it's i think very important to talk the specifics about this as well. what is this going to mean in practice? people out there who say, look, i was paying attention to this parity in 2008. it's been five years. nothing really changed. what is it going to mean in reality for them? >> well, it means that insurance plans that you subscribe to have to provide comparable levels of benefits for treatment of mental illness as they do for medical and surgical treatments. so, for example, if you go to an emergency room and you have an acute abdomen and need an

appendecto appendectomy, nobody will call your insurance company and say he has fever and a lower right quadrant pain and an elevated wbc, will you approve it? but if you go to the emergency room and you're suicidal, you may not be able to be admitted depending on your policy, you may need some prior approval and in the time you could walk out of the emergency room and kill yourself before you get the treatment. >> finally, let me ask you, doctor, if people watching are concerned about themselves or a family member, what should do they do immediately? >> i tell people you can't be timid and cautious when trying to determine whether they or a loved one needs -- possibly needs mental health care. if somebody -- if one of our family members or you are experiencing chest pain or stomach discomfort are a severe sort of headaches, you know, you'll say something, you'll ask somebody about how are you feeling. is there something wrong. is there something i can do. maybe you should call a doctor. should we call an ambulance. but if somebody's acting funny

and behaving strangely and not up to their usual pattern, you don't immediately jump the gun, but if it persists for some period of time, a matter of more than a day or several days and there are people really acting unusual, there seems to be something that's out of sorts with their circumstances, ask them about it. it's better to be safe than sorry. and the best point of contact if you have no -- if you don't know exactly who to refer to or seek help from is to go to your primary care doctor and to ask them, look, i think i'm having this kind of problem. what do you think i should do. >> don't ignore this. don't ignore these symptoms in yourself or a loved one. it's an important message, i'm glad more people are going to hear it. dr. jeffrey lieberman, thank you so much. >> thank you, dr. gupta. still ahead on "sg md," you've probably senn the ads for, quote-unquote, low-t, they are kind of if unny ads. but what could low-t or

testosterone be doing to your heart? it found out the doctor we needed was at st. anne's. wiggle your toes. [ driver ] and it got his okay on treatment from miles away. it even pulled strings with the stoplights. my ambulance talks with smoke alarms and pilots and stadiums. but, of course, it's a good listener too. [ female announcer ] today cisco is connecting the internet of everything. so everything works like never before.

it's often said that necessity is the mother of invention. well, that couldn't be more true for don and mora horton, they used magnets to turn a diagnosis into a business opportunity. >> red, 18, go! right man. that's it right there. good job right there. good job right there.

>> for more than three decades now don horton's life has been mostly football. >> division i, division i, division iii and also a high school coach. all very rewarding experiences. >> then in 2006 don became one of the 60,000 americans diagnosed every year with parkinson's disease. perhaps the worst day came in 2009. that's when don found himself unable to button his own shirt. russell wilson, who's now a quarterback with the seattle seahawks, helped don with his buttons so their team could get back on the road. >> it's just a humbling experience to be helpless. know you got to do something, you can see it there, you've done it before and it seemed so easy for someone else to deal with. >> there were so many challenges i couldn't help with but this was one change i could do. >> don's wife mora got to work creating a line of magnetic clothing free of buttons and zippers that would help her husband and others regain their

independence. >> so, it's as simple as lining it up. >> as it grew, helping people, the e-mail that she got were incredible, you know, helping so many people across the nation. >> the magna ready magnets are strong enough to keep the shirts closed but not so strong they are difficult to open. >> and you're dressed. >> i had to see this for myself, so actually all show i've been wearing the magnetic shirts. let me show you how it works. look at that. and you pit it right back on, magnets, and you get dressed in 20 seconds. this is perfect for me. these shirts are really great for anyone who has limited mobility or if you're just in a hurry. not just parkinson's disease, arthritis, stroke, even als. good luck, mora. testosterone replacement therapy, a lot of people have been talking about this.

could give men a boost in the bedroom and with their mood even but we're not show it even works and a new study says it might increase the risk of heart problems. men who had previous risk of heart disease and also used low-t therapy had a 30% increase of stroke and death as to men that didn't take this therapy. i should point out, it's important, it's an observational study so it isn't known if the men in the study were takingen the proper dosage or doing other things that could have increased their risk of heart disease overall. given the findings it makes you think men should question do they really need this therapy and is it working and they should definitely talk about the risks with their doctor before taking this sort of treatment. of before we go, a quick reminder about our fit nation challenge. you've got to think about these, these triathlons that i've been doing they've changed my life. we're accepting submissions for next year's team and i'll be
